How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Vanbrugh Park Estate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

When to call us in Vanbrugh Park Estate

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Vanbrugh Park Estate. The price depends on:

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Vanbrugh Park Estate?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
